Microsoft Azure Monitoring

Microsoft Azure Monitoring and Performance Management

Microsoft Azure is a commonly used Infrastructure As A Service (IaaS) platform developed and supported by Microsoft. Instana’s Azure Monitoring is part of Application Monitoring, Infrastructure Monitoring and Cloud Monitoring.

Automatic code instrumentation of service technologies when applicable

Creation of real-time service dependency maps

Tracing of 100% of requests across all systems

VM, application and service health monitoring

Comprehensive Microsoft Azure Monitoring requires performance visibility for the virtual host, discovery of all infrastructure components operating in the Azure instance, and mapping all applications and services within the instance.

Instana is the quickest and easiest way to monitor Azure across the stack to deliver comprehensive application insights. The Instana agent automatically discovers all applications and services deployed into Microsoft Azure VMs, deploys the necessary monitoring sensors and begins tracing applications and requests. Instana also automatically determines the health of Azure VMs, the operating system and running applications and services.

To determine overall service health, the Instana Monitoring sensors also collects KPIs on the monitored environment to determine its health status.

With the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and health signatures from the curated knowledge base, Instana automatically detects issues with individual Azure VMs and files service incidents. Based on severity, Instana automates incident escalation and root cause identification, helping you solve issues before users are impacted.
